As a new parent, you want to preserve the love, wonder, and connection that defines this special time – and celebrates this new little person – in your life.
Years from now, you’ll treasure the photographs of your tiny newborn’s first yawns, the images that capture the way their fingers curled around yours, the moments frozen in time.
If you want to capture the incredible bond between you and your baby and document the fleeting milestones of motherhood, I’d be honored to care for every detail of your Northern Virginia newborn photography experience.

Not only were the photos stunning, but the entire experience was so seamless.

- Jamie L.

We couldn't be happier with Stephanie's newborn photography session! Not only were the photos stunning, but the entire experience was so seamless. Having access to her client wardrobe and professional hair and makeup services was such a relief. It was wonderful not having to worry about what to wear. Stephanie is incredibly personable and worked so well with our newborn and toddler. She created a calming atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable. Her work speaks for itself - we highly recommend her and would definitely work with her again! 

Serving busy mamas like you and creating timeless keepsakes of your baby’s newborn days is my heartfelt mission as your full-service newborn and baby photographer in Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

Specializing in timeless newborn and baby photography, all of my signature sessions include professional hair and makeup, a closet of flattering client wardrobe options, custom artwork design, and in-home art installation...all tailored to your family’s legacy and design preferences.

Every element of your newborn session is designed to help you feel beautiful, relaxed, and fully present while I document your family’s love and connection in the most natural way. In addition to newborn photography, I also specialize in family photography and maternity photography, serving across the DMV.

Hello! I'm Stephanie

As a mama myself, I know all too well the anticipation, bittersweetness, and beauty of motherhood. I too have experienced firsthand the desire to document every big and tiny moment of my daughter’s life, all while savoring the way I feel in that moment and in that season of my life.

And I’d be honored to do just that for you.

By providing an effortless photography experience that pampers you, the hard-working and busy mom who is all too familiar with the passage of time, it’s my goal to ensure that you don’t miss capturing the fleeting milestones of your children’s life and your experience as a mother.

For families across Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland, I provide timeless newborn, baby, and child photography that captures the heart of your family’s journey. From your first maternity session to your baby’s milestone sessions to photographing your children in growing phase, I’ll help you create heirloom-quality images that tell your story for generations.
